I stayed outside, on the wooden porch, to consider the frozen mystery of the seracs at my feet until everything had vanished behind silent ghosts of fog, and then I went in.

我呆在外面木制的门廊里，仔细想着脚下封冻的冰雪柱的神秘性，待一切都在寂静的雾幕般的幽灵消失后，我才进了屋。

Water is a shape shifter: familiar in its liquid and frozen forms, it is invisible in its third form, as a vapor, until it coalesces into clouds overhead or shrouds us in ghostly fog.

水有多种形态，我们更熟悉的是液态水和固态冰，它的第三种形态是看不见的水蒸汽，后者升上天空后会聚集在一起形成云团。
